(Just in on Comcast) A 3-D sequel to the 2006 action hit that pioneered a new genre: Ancient Bro History. Athenian hero Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) tries to keep the Persians at bay while whipping Greek city-states into, you know, a nation. Pretty ridiculous, but Eva Green is gloriously mean as Persian naval commander Artemisia. (R; runs through Nov. 2)

(Starz on Comcast) Still pretty bland, but this warm, fuzzy sequel is an improvement on the first outing, even if it does go on too long and hit the obvious over the head. Eddie Murphy’s doc who talks to the animals keeps his family together while taking on a rampaging lumber company that wants to wipe out a Northern California habitat. (PG; runs through Nov. 13)
